When buried bullets of rain are gone
I arouse unto a stunning raw dawn
Where wings of grief suddenly wane
and ebbs of pain no longer remain
for now I embrace this gift of grace
remaining here in this peaceful place

15 word love poem challenge
when
I still myself
and just be...
an overwhelming
sadness swells
seemingly from
an endless cistern of grief
It wells and billows
I accept it
not fully understanding
but knowing this sorrow
must have a voice
be heard
embraced
I am "barefaced"
You're my love, my song,
where I forever belong
I'd be amiss
if I didn't reminisce
about...your tender kiss
If stars could sing
of our eternal melody
they'd romp and dance
celebrate our romance
The planets would align
form a phenomenal design...
be painted and hued
and heavenly imbued
There's nowhere else
for me to abide
but in your caring arms
safely secure
in your love so pure...
Our unity is for eternity
rains
have ceased
clouds passed by
tears rolled away
silence beacons peace
budding blooms mirror sun
light overcomes dour shadows
truth yields fragrant hyssop of hope
solemnness no longer reigns all day
storm has lifted, leaving love in its wake

The Lanterne is a five-line verse shaped like a Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of one, two, three, four, one.
Lanterne poems are written on light and airy topics and not on dark ones."
"In a lanterne poem, the first line should be a noun, the second line should describe the noun or its actions, the third line should further describe the noun, the fourth line should further describe the noun and the
fifth line should be another word for the noun. Most poets find writing the last line quite difficult because it is often hard to find another word for the noun written in L1 and that too with one syllable." Sai Babas Lotus
heaven touches earth
corrupt clouds torn asunder
rain of revival
no caps
5-7-5
Love
Is
Never
Diminishing
Another
Embed desires
cinders of my dreams
embed red in heart sparkle
your touch sets ablaze....
